Hi all. No diagnosis here as am waiting for doctors appointment but I am convinced I have a brain tumour, it all started at the beginning of March where I had Covid, the headaches I experienced where horrific like nothing I’d ever felt before, like a band of pain round my head and was also experiencing weakness in my left arm. Anyway I got over that and was ok for a few weeks but now I have been suffering from headaches again everyday for weeks. The headaches aren’t particularly painful, 95% of the time they are at the back of my head sort of like a throbbing/pressure. Sometimes the headaches are at the front/side aswell. I have been for an eye test incase it was my eyes but the optician told me that a headache at the back of the head won’t be to do with my eyes. Anyway I have also been experiencing the left arm and hand weakness again, it sometimes tingles aswell but that comes and goes. Has anyone had any similar symptoms? Sometimes I feel like spaced out aswell. Thank you for any help
